Another person in Tom Brady's camp has appeared to comment on ESPN's explosive story about intensifying discord between the Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft and the Patriots quarterback.
In a Facebook post Friday, Brady's sister, Nancy, posted a motivational saying that seems to refer to the article. "Lions don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep," she writes.

— Kirk and Callahan (@KirkAndCallahan) January 5, 2018Wickersham's article alleges Kraft instructed Belichick to trade Jimmy Garoppolo at the deadline, because Brady continually stressed his desire to play until his mid-40s. The story also says Brady and Belichick are feuding over Alex Guerrero, whom Belichick banned from the sidelines earlier this season. Reportedly, Guerrero started subverting the team's training staff, much to Belichick's annoyance.
The Patriots issued a joint statement with Brady, Belichick and Kraft earlier Friday. "For the past 18 years, the three of us have enjoyed a very good and productive working relationship," the statement reads. "In recent days, there have been multiple media reports that have speculated theories that are unsubstantiated, highly exaggerated, or flat out inaccurate. The three of us share a common goal. We look forward to the enormous challenge of competing in the postseason and the opportunity to work together in the future, just as we have for the past 18 years. It is unfortunate that there is even a need for us to respond to these fallacies. As our actions have shown, we stand united."
Brady's and Garoppolo's agent, Don Yee, also casted doubt on the story.
